Details
Veterans from all wars and their supporters will leave from Rancho Cucamonga, CA on their annual pilgrimage across the Heartland of America to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial - "The Wall" - in Washington D.C. They will honor Junction City with their stop here on May 19th. Their mission is to create a groundswell of support for American POW/MIA's from all wars, and to honor the memory of those "Killed In Action" and to help those injured by war to heal. Please join us in making this a memorable and honorable stopover. This 10-day, cross country journey will include ceremonies with veterans and organizations, visits to war memorials, visits to VA hospital patients, and other stops to make sure our POW/MIA's are not forgotten. Everyone is asked to line up on S. Washington St. and participate in the "flag line" to welcome these veterans to our community. On Monday morning they will be served breakfast before they continue on with their journey. Ceremony will be held in Heritage Park following their arrival. This event is Free!
